Posted July 16, 200619 yr Shayne Ward - Stand by me http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/82876869132.JPG It has been a phenomenal year for Shayne Ward and as we head into the summer, he prepares to release, 'Stand By Me', a timeless piano-led ballad with a rousing chorus, the third single from his platinum selling, No.1 debut album 'Shayne Ward'. Less than a year ago Shayne was an unsuspecting entrant in the UK's biggest music talent show, The X-Factor. He soon became the nation's favourite and went on to win the contest. In just 10 short months, he has become one of the UK’s biggest and brightest new stars. - HMV track listing 1. Stand By Me [single Mix] 2. Easy To Love You 3. Hit The Ground Running Release date: 10-7-2006
July 16, 200619 yr Author Not good. With releases like this, Shayne will be forgotten before the end of the year.
July 16, 200619 yr Its terrible, I really wish he would do something different, hes heading the same way as Michelle McManus!
July 16, 200619 yr Its terrible, I really wish he would do something different, hes heading the same way as Michelle McManus! Michelle had two singles, the second flopped -_- But I see what you mean ^_^
July 16, 200619 yr Michelle had two singles, the second flopped -_- But I see what you mean ^_^ Yes, she flopped because she was bland. Like Shayne is :( If he did something different and fresh, it would be great, as he does have a great voice!
July 16, 200619 yr Yes, she flopped because she was bland. Like Shayne is :( If he did something different and fresh, it would be great, as he does have a great voice! Well if he can survive past the first album, there's plenty of opportunity for a change of direction. He should do something Justin Timberlake-esque, it would be HUGE! :o
July 16, 200619 yr The new Justin Timberlake my arse :lol: Never heard him doing anything as boring as this :zzz: (well maybe This I Promise You...)
July 16, 200619 yr The new Justin Timberlake my arse :lol: Never heard him doing anything as boring as this :zzz: (well maybe This I Promise You...) I didn't say that, I said he should do something Justin-esque i.e ditch the suits and sing in a higher key, preferably NOT a Westlife reject -_-
July 16, 200619 yr I didn't say that, I said he should do something Justin-esque i.e ditch the suits and sing in a higher key, preferably NOT a Westlife reject -_- I wasn't talking about your post ;) I was talking about what basically he was trying to be on X Factor. ;)
July 16, 200619 yr I wasn't talking about your post ;) I was talking about what basically he was trying to be on X Factor. ;) Oh I see ^_^ But still, it helps clarify what I meant in the first place :lol:
July 16, 200619 yr R Kelly's "Turn Back the Hands of Time" anybody?! What a shoddy rip-off. Louis turning him into a one-man Westlife is destroying him.

July 17, 200619 yr Shayne in trouble? Yahoo.co.uk (Monday July 17, 2006 10:42 AM) Knives are out for "X Factor" winner Shayne Ward after his latest single, "Stand By Me", limped into the charts at number 14. According to reports in London's Evening Standard, some music industry insiders think that the singer is already past his sell-by date. A source told the newspaper that record company bosses expected the single to go straight into the top three. They added: "Given that reality TV winners stand or fall by their chart success, this is worrying for Shayne. "It is a relatively quiet week for new releases and the top 10 is full of artists like Sandi Thom who have been there for ages. He should have gone into the top five at the very least. "When you first come off the back of a reality show like "X Factor" you can't go wrong. No matter how good or bad your first single is, it will get to number one. "But a few months on the momentum is gone and it all comes down to how good your song is. "I think Shayne might have come down to earth with a bump." The former shoe shop assistant's first single, "That's My Goal", shot straight to number one, selling 742,180 copies in four days. "Stand By Me" sold 11,098 copies in the whole of last week. However, in an interview yesterday (July 16) with ITV, Ward remained upbeat, claiming he had the full support of pop svengalis Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell. He said: "Who knows what may actually happen in the future, but I'm doing great at the moment. I'm starting international now." "I'm going to Australia, South Africa, the whole of Asia and I'm going to be performing. "So at the moment, things are on their way up, so hopefully it lasts."
July 17, 200619 yr I'm starting international now." :lol: oh dear...next thing you know is.. we'll be hearing about him be big in Asia..
July 17, 200619 yr I got a lot of stick on CC when I said that within 2 years Ward will be singing on cruise ships and at Butlins but I think I need to revise that prediction to even sooner ;)
July 17, 200619 yr all that TV exposure and support from the people that watched x-factor is dwindling away ,no wonder he has to go elsewhere like asia to make louis and simon money
July 17, 200619 yr :lol: oh dear...next thing you know is.. we'll be hearing about him be big in Asia.. That's a bit snobbish isn't it? What do you have against the Asians? It's better than flopping across Asia surely? It's a substantial market and the biggest artists in the world are 'big in Asia' too. Do you say that just because Gareth made it big in Asia and Will didn't? Who knows if Shayne will make it in Asia or Austalia or any of these other countries he's due to promote in? It will be interesting to see how he fares in markets where the record buying population didn't see him on tv each week.
July 17, 200619 yr We do keep being told that Gareth made it big in Asia a few years back, exactly how big I wonder. Obviously not big enough to keep his deal with SBMG intact and without a UK or US deal, it doesn't really mean a hill of beans does it? I'm sure Shayne would much prefer to secure his position in the UK first before branching further afield.
July 17, 200619 yr This is evil and I had to reply quickly to stop myself getting the kitchen knife and doing myself in :arrr:
